OIL Il HALT.

An effort is being made TO induce the
county commissioners 10 withdraw
the county bond proposition now be-
fore the people. The commissioners
will meet next Tuesday, August I'd
and it is to be hoped that they will then
order the proposition withdrawn.
When the election was ordered 1t was
understood that the railroad company.
or its representatives, would put into
the hands of the commissioners a suffi-
cient sum Of money to pay the expense
Of the election, no matter which way
the question was decided. Not one
dollar has been put up, and there are
no indications that any money will be
forthcoming.
There appears TO be an entire lack Of
knowledge as To what the Chicago,
Kansas x Texas Railroad company is.
No one appears TO know if it is a com
pany whose existence is only on paper
or If il has any solid backing. There
is general belief that it is another
scheme like the Kansas and Panhandle
railrOad-cOmmeDcing nowhere and
ending nowhere. We all know and ad-
NIT now how badly we were sold out by
that alleged road.
If the Chicago, Kansas Il Texas COM
pany had any business about il, it would
have before now shown that it was in
earnest. But from all that We can
learn, 1t is simply scheme on the part
of a few men to get line of subsidies
voted that they can sell out to some
other lot of Adventures.
Barber county is in no condition now
TO be triiled with. The season is against
us, and our people do not feel rich or
even prosperous. We have lately been
disappointed by railroad scheme that
had some color Of earnestness.
To vote the 100000 asked by the
Chicago, Kansas 81 Texas road would
practically tie our hands until after
August 81, 1883, more than year from
now, and in that time some reasonable
and more favorable proposition may be
offered us.
We hope that the commissioners will
withdraw the proposition to be voted
OH August 10th and thus save the cOun-
~ the expense of the election. If they
do not take this action, then we hope
that every voter in the county will go
to the polls and vote against the bonds.
